Cottage holiday rentals in Crystal Lake Township

We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

We stayed at this awesome cottage in northern Michigan for a golf trip with four guys, and it couldn’t have been better. The Airbnb is set on a ton of land—super peaceful and private, perfect for unwinding after long days on the course. The place was spotless, well-stocked, and everything was easy to navigate. One of the biggest highlights was the hot tub—absolutely clutch after walking 18+ holes each day. The host made everything simple with great communication and clear instructions from start to finish. It was one of those stays where everything just worked, which let us fully relax and enjoy the trip. Highly recommend this spot if you’re planning a golf getaway or just want a quiet place to chill with friends.

A wonderful stay in a charming, beautifully decorated real cottage. And a terrific Arnold Palmer designed golf course just down the road. Anna was so helpful. Looking forward to our return!

Linda's place was everything we could have wanted and more. It was the perfect cozy cabin, so close to our planned activities, nice and quiet/peaceful, and well stocked with anything we could need. Linda was very understanding and a great host. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!!!

We had an amazing stay! The space was exactly as described - clean, stylish, and cozy. It was an ideal location, close enough to shops, restaurants, and trails, but still tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful. Would recommend!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was spotless, very comfortable, and in a perfect location—just minutes from restaurants, shops, and the lake. Stephanie and Bobby were incredibly easy to work with and had a thoughtfully organized book full of recommendations and options for just about anything you could need or want to do in the area. Highly recommend!

Cannot recommend this host and this property enough. Nathan was communicative while we were still looking at the property, and responded quickly through the rest of the process until check out. He provided great recommendations for local places to try out and we had a peaceful stay. The property was roomier than expected for the master and cozy for the spare rooms, and we especially loved the living room and outdoor furniture. So happy to have found this gem of a place and excited to come back in the future!

We absolutely loved our stay at lil gem, it was just far enough off the grid that allowed us to relax, but still let us explore michigan! Jeri was super helpful and responsive to all of our needs as well! Definitely the perfect spot for a peaceful romantic getaway! We’ll be back!

The rental was perfect. Just big enough for the 6 of us. We had all the amenities available and needed nothing. The grocery store was just up the road so we packed light. We also utilized the washer/dryer which was handy. On Saturdays, there is the Merritt Speedway. Good for a laugh and beer. Don't forget to visit Tastey Treat. Beach is groomed/sandy and clear water for swimming. I could go on! Thank you and we look forward to coming back!, The Westlake's

We really enjoyed our stay. When we first arrived, we wondered if we had picked the wrong location as it did not seem as close to things as we had thought, but after further investigation of the area, it was in a perfect spot. Hosts were very helpful and even flexible in changing the dates of our stay, and this pet friendly rental made it easy to travel with pets. The space was very clean and well stocked with things needed for the week. We would recommend this location to others. One of our favorite finds was the Three Trees Winery just up the road. It’s also in a great location to explore surrounding areas, like the Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear, Glen Arbor, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course, and of course Traverse City. If you are trying to decide whether to visit the area and stay here, don’t hesitate (especially if traveling with pets).

Ben was able to accommodate my last minute stay and I’m so appreciative! I was hoping to get away from the city and enjoy watching the lake with my partner and pup. We were obsessed with the sunroom, multiple board games/puzzle available, watching movies and just catching back up. The lake is still a bit chilly which worked for me because nobody else was out and about! It was such a peaceful, calming trip and I would definitely come back.

Meagan was a great host and reached out often to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean and spacious enough for the six of us plus our grand baby. The location was close to all the activities we had planned with scenic drives to all of them. We had a great weekend.

Andrea was an amazing host! Quick with responses, and amazing with suggestions or recommendations. Place was clean and had lots of amenities. Quiet, beautiful and not far from the hustle and bustle from Sister Bay! Thank you Ms. Andrea for an amazing trip.

Our family enjoyed ourselves very much. There wasn’t alot around for shopping or restaurant dining. However, we were there to spend time together so the few restaurants and stores close by was perfect for us. The neighborhood and people were extremely friendly and kind. We LOVED the view. The lake was great for both sports and fishing.

This is our second time staying at Laurie’s Airbnb and we love it. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the winter wonderland up there. Laurie is very communicative and very helpful. The place is comfy and we love that we can bring our dogs!

everything was great...beautiful lake with nice dock, has boat, kayaks and a dock that we waded out to..water was clear and could wade out barefoot..will stay again when opportunity arises.

Wonderful second stay! We had a great time as a family and would highly recommend for close proximity to town and the beach! Mark is super responsive and replied immediately to any questions. Thanks Mark!

Great place and would definitely stay there again. Very spacious, nice bedrooms that all had separate air conditioners (great for spring to fall), and close to the nearby highways to nearby towns.

This is the absolute best location in Frankfort! Equally walkable to the beach and downtown shops and restaurants. We rented bikes and easily parked them on the alley side of the house. This was such a great cottage for our family. Denise was so friendly, thorough, and helpful. Wonderful hosts and experience!

We loved staying at the moon cottage. The place was clean and looked like the photos. Kitchen had most everything needed for a convenient stay. The location is amazingly close to main street and lots of local shops and businesses. However the home is very private and quiet while being so close to parks and the beach. Loved our stay and how quick to respond our host was!

The stay at Lori & Peter's Interlochen cottage was fabulous--from the moment of booking through follow up as I was leaving they were responsive and helpful; no question was too small. The place was just as pictured: quiet, secluded, yet close to everything I needed or wanted, well furnished and appointed, comfortable beds, charming kitchen dishes, wonderful area. It was absolutely perfect.

Great place / location. Easy access to surrounding attractions. All as desribed in posting. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great location for both walking into the cute town of Frankfort as well as exploring the area. The house was just as pictured and better. Very comfortable for relaxing and sleeping. Tastefully decorated - we took photos for ideas in our home. Serene beach theme with amazing light fixtures in the bedrooms. Quiet and peaceful. The front entry has a comfortable bench perfect for sitting in sun and reading. We look forward to returning.
